Meet Vicki — Founder of
Count On Me Tuition
Hello, I’m Vicki!
I started this wonderful business in September 2023 to pursue my passion for empowering young people with confidence in learning to unlock their academic potential.
I have nearly 20 years’ experience working in six primary schools — yikes!
I began my career as a teaching assistant and completed my degree in Education Studies part-time then I completed my PCGE with a maths specialism while juggling being a single mother to a two-year-old - what a year that was!
I spent many happy years working at a Trafford primary school, teaching from Year 1 to Year 6.
For seven of those years, I was the Maths Subject Leader and trained with the NCETM Maths Hubs to deepen my knowledge and experience of mathematics — not bad for someone who thought they were rubbish at maths at school!
Alongside running Count On Me Tuition, I also support other tutors who want to grow their own businesses with confidence and clarity, sharing the lessons I’ve learned along the way to help them thrive too. Helping fellow tutors build something they love is a passion close to my heart, and I love seeing that ripple effect of confidence and success spread.
I’m proud to co-found TutorFEST, a national event that brings tutors together to learn, grow, and build thriving businesses. If that’s what brings you here, connect with me on LinkedIn or my other Insta: @vickitutorswhothrive
Outside of work, I have a beautiful family to keep me busy. My two daughters are Poppy, 15, and Layla, 7. They both have additional needs (in different ways!) so I resonate with and stand by all the mama bears out there who are fighting to get their kids the right support to thrive.
